Concordia Publishing House

The Word of the Lord endures forever

L

aymen founded Concordia Publishing House more 

than 133 years ago to provide printed materials for the

worship and education needs in the Synod.  Today, CPH

continues to provide the  basics  like offering envelopes and

bulletin covers, as well as creative, multi piece products like the

annual vacation Bible school materials.  Working with LCMS

boards and commissions, it cooperates on projects such as 

hymnals for worship and The Lutheran Witness.

In this information age,  publishing  goes beyond the

traditional ink on paper. CPH products include computer soft 

ware, Bible studies and newsletters via e mail and, of course, a

Web site at www.cph.org.
